" that SAS troops had used excessive force in killing four IRA terrorists who had just fired 50 rounds into a police station with a Russian heavy machine gun." How can anyone use excessive force to kill a terrorist? Isn't that the whole point?

Of course you have evidence of this??????

The police investigating the 'police' and clearing them, proves they are a complete joke as are these 'non crime hate incidents' Either there a crime has been committed or is has not, if its a 'non crime' by definition there is no crime, its not rocket science! Why are they collection information on people who have NOT committed a crime??

In the UK, laws like the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 let authorities demand data from companies within UK jurisdiction. But X has no significant legal presence there (its European HQ is in Ireland), so the UK can’t directly enforce this on X’s U.S. servers. Posts on X from March 7, 2025, claim X refused to hand over “hundreds of account details” after the Southport riots last summer, citing Musk’s criticism of the UK jailing people for social media posts. The UK might argue these posts incited violence (illegal under the Public Order Act 1986), but without MLAT compliance, they can’t force X to act. Right now, there’s no public evidence the UK used MLAT properly for these specific requests. News from March 6, 2025, also shows Musk backing Apple against a UK “secret order” for cloud data, hinting he’d resist informal pressure too. Without a U.S. court order, he’s not legally forced to hand over anything—and he seems ready to fight if pushed.

He is obeying the law! X is a U.S.-based company, so its primary legal obligations stem from American law. The Stored Communications Act (SCA) governs how U.S. tech companies handle government requests for user data. Under the SCA (18 U.S.C. § 2703), X must comply with U.S. court orders, warrants, or subpoenas for user data—but only if properly issued by U.S. authorities. Foreign governments, like the UK, can’t directly compel X to turn over data stored in the U.S. without going through a mutual legal assistance treaty (MLAT) process. The U.S.-UK MLAT, streamlined by the 2019 CLOUD Act Agreement, allows UK authorities to request data from U.S. companies like X for serious crimes (e.g., terrorism, child exploitation) without routing through the U.S. Department of Justice, as long as the request meets strict criteria: It must target a specific individual or account. It must relate to a criminal investigation, not civil or administrative matters. It must respect U.S. free speech protections (e.g., not criminalizing speech protected under the First Amendment).

Yes in the US it would be practically unheard to do such thing, they have the First Amendment, the UK sadly does not!

Sometimes it does, but this guy Smikle is more about political messaging than evidence. I should have known when he made his appearance on MSNBC!

Oh dear......you may want to check how many ex presidents avoided the draft, before posting infantile comments? Of the presidents whose lifetimes overlapped with the Vietnam draft, four who served as president after the war avoided it: Clinton, G. W. Bush, Trump, and Biden. That’s four out of the six post-Vietnam presidents who were of draft-eligible age at the time (excluding Obama and G. H. W. Bush for age reasons). All used legal deferments—student, medical, or Guard service—common among the 15 million men who avoided Vietnam service out of 27 million eligible. Avoiding the draft wasn’t rare. Over half the eligible men didn’t serve, thanks to deferments (9 million got them), exemptions, or high lottery numbers after 1969. Presidents reflect that trend—many were from privileged backgrounds with access to education or connections. No president since Vietnam saw combat there, though some earlier ones (like Nixon) served in prior wars

No, you are saying people don't check in small bags? Of course they do if they contain items that you cannot pack in cabin luggage , like knives, or nail clippers etc!

The only time the Dems actually stood up and applauded was when the President mentioned Ukraine and the billions that had been sent. That sends a definite message, they hate America! How could anyone NOT love that speech?! It was funny, uplifting & entertaining. I am so happy Trump is back!

It doesn't say was this cabin baggage or not, or did I miss that? So if it was cabin baggage she didnt think the xray scanner wouldn't be able to see the animals?

Why are the Dems wanting to support this madness? Do they have a hidden agenda?

So they lie, right off the bat?.... "A Home Office spokesperson defended the agency’s approach, stating, "We will never compromise on border security"

"Hurty or derogative words would land you in court," Only in the UK were freedom of speech is dead!

It's no just Qatar Airlines that do it, most airlines have a similar 'policy'. If seats are empty, the body goes there—covered, belted, ideally out of sight. British Airways’ 2021 crew guidance (leaked via a FOI request) says “use a row of seats if available, preferably rear or premium cabin for privacy.” Delta’s similar—per a 2022 employee forum post, it’s “least disruptive placement,” often first class if vacant. Singapore Airlines, post a 2023 incident, reportedly favors galley areas or empty rows, per staff accounts on X. No-seats scenario? Galley corners, locked lavatories, or last-resort “leave in place” with blankets—Qantas and United have both done this, per 2020 and 2024 passenger reports. Most train crews for this in basic first-aid courses—American Airlines’ 2023 manual, cited in a lawsuit, includes a “deceased passenger” checklist: confirm, move, cover, report.

Who in their right mind would go there as a tourist.......... “I went blank and wrote something like ‘I wish the world peace.’ Afterwards my guide told me that was an inappropriate thing to write" If writing 'I wish the world peace' is inappropriate, what would be appropriate?

"On Sunday, Starmer and Zelensky will join 16 other European leaders at Lancaster House to discuss a coordinated strategy for ending the war. The prime minister is expected to urge his counterparts to prioritize increased defence spending over symbolic gestures of support, aiming to forge a united European response without provoking further discord with the White House." So looks like the Europeans and Brits have taken point on this, I am sure all the taxpayers in the various countries will be happy? But I wonder who from Europe/UK is going to negotiate with Putin? That is going to be interesting?

If this was legitimate, meaning the tourist initiated the fight, why did the security guard disappear? "After the punch, the security guard promptly disappeared into the crowd. "

Yes indeed, Thailand, well, TAT and the Government only think about $$$$

"A spokesperson for the Campaign Against Antisemitism went even further, calling the situation a national disgrace. “A national treasure has become a national embarrassment. The BBC has now admitted that license fee funds were paid to the family of a senior Hamas official. It has not yet been able to rule out that further payments to Hamas were made as it continues to investigate where hundreds of thousands of pounds went. Clearly, those responsible must lose their jobs. We are among those who have reported the BBC to Counter Terrorism Policing, which is now investigating.” " The Anti Terror Police may well investigate this disgraceful behavior, but its very doubtful anything will come of it. The BBC have repeatedly shown bias toward Hamas, breaking the formal agreement with the Government, re the BBC charter, What has happened to the BBC in the form of disciplinary action..nothing, they are like Teflon!

Here we go with a deflection. Tut tut....What a ludicrous comment. President Trump is not mentally disturbed, or do you have hard evidence he is? He is not running around with nuclear arms, there are extremely tight controls, as there should be, on nuclear arms, even the President cannot unilaterally fire them, unlike a person with gender dysphoria, firing a gun!

When I am in Hawaii, I always wear them, so do most other people!

So they are in the US. On February 27, 2025, Romanian prosecutors approved a request to lift the travel ban, позволяя the Tates to fly to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on a private jet. DIICOT’s statement clarified that while they can leave Romania, they remain under “judicial control,” meaning they must return when summoned—specifically by March 24 or 25, 2025, for their next court appearance—or face stricter measures like detention. I wonder if they will return?

According to the email i received..... "Skype Credit users can also continue to use their remaining Skype Credit. After May 5, 2025, the Skype Dial Pad will be available to remaining paid users from the Skype web portal and within Teams." Whatever that means!

The US military's main purpose is to defend the USA, to do that it may well involve killing the enemy. Do you really want people with a mental disorder...'gender dysphoria' running around with a firearm? According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), gender dysphoria is classified as a mental disorder. Specifically, it’s listed under the category "Gender Dysphoria"
